Mi Zhu spoke in praise.
After chatting for a while, Liu Bei brought the topic back to the right track: "Brother Zizhong came here from Xuzhou thousands of miles away, what's the matter?"
As the saying goes, there is nothing without going to the Three Treasures Hall.
Mi Zhu came all the way to Jizhou, so he couldn't really come here to visit him.
Liu Bei thinks he doesn't have that much face yet.
At first Mi Zhu was thinking about how to speak, but now that Liu Bei asked, he answered along the way: "To be honest, I came here to ask for Xuande."
Hearing these words, Liu Bei was a little puzzled, the status and status of the two were far apart.Even if it was begging, it should be him who begged Mi Zhu. How could Mi Zhu beg him instead?
Liu Bei didn't speak, and Mi Zhu went on to say: "Cao Cao, the shepherd of Yanzhou, raised [-] troops and invaded Xuzhou on a large scale, causing hundreds of thousands of people to suffer, and corpses littered the fields in Xuzhou. Tao Shijun has heard that Xuande Gong is high righteous, and he is also a member of the Han Dynasty. Clan relatives, so I was sent here to ask Xuande for help."
Then Mi Zhu told Liu Bei about Cao Song's death.
After listening to Liu Bei, he knew that this was a great opportunity to become famous, but at the same time he was a little melancholy.
He is still hanging around with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are allies, even if he asks, Yuan Shao will definitely not give him soldiers.
Without soldiers and horses, relying on him and the five alone, it is estimated that Xuzhou could not be saved, and he also took himself in.
Seeing Liu Bei's hesitation, Mi Zhu asked tentatively, "Xuande is unwilling to rescue him? Or is there something unspeakable?"
"Brother Zizhong, it's not that Liu is resigning. It's because I have no soldiers. Even if I want to, I'm afraid I won't be able to." Liu Bei is also very helpless.
"If you don't go, Xuzhou will be in danger!"
Mi Zhu sighed softly, then got up to leave, since Liu Bei didn't want to go into this muddy water, he didn't force it.
Seeing Mi Zhu walking out of the courtyard in great disappointment, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped him: "Brother Zizhong, you go back and tell Mr. Tao Shijun, let Liu Bei borrow some soldiers from other places, and then come."
Mi Zhu, who had already reached the door, turned around, with a hint of urgency in his tone: "Xuande's words are serious? Don't lie to me."
Hearing Mi Zhu's question, Liu Bei pretended to be sullen: "Why is Gong Yibei like a human being? The sage said: Since ancient times, everyone has died, and people can't stand without faith. If Liu Bei wins an army or fails to borrow an army, he will definitely come in person."
Faced with Liu Bei's questioning, Mi Zhu was not only not angry, but was very happy, clapping his hands and saying, "Xuzhou can be saved if you say so!"
Afterwards, Liu Bei sent Mi Zhu to the street and bid farewell.
Now that the promise has been made, it is necessary to race against time. If one step is too late, Xuzhou is likely to fall into the hands of Cao Cao.
Back in the courtyard, Liu Bei no longer took care of the flowers and plants, and was not in a hurry to celebrate his birthday, so he directly ordered: "Second brother and third brother, hurry up and pack your bags, and follow me to Youzhou."
On the same day, five fast horses set off from Jizhou and headed straight for Youzhou.
You Beiping, the residence of Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan was very happy to learn that Liu Bei was coming to visit.
Now he is the upstart in the north, the people of Wuhuan surrendered, and even Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and third prince, was beaten to the point of cowardice by him.
When he came to the reception hall, Liu Bei was already sitting in the hall waiting.
"Xuande, what kind of wind is blowing today that brought you here?" Gongsun Zan laughed heartily.
Seeing Gongsun Zan appearing, Liu Bei got up to salute, and said with a smile, "After a long absence, brother is still so bold and powerful, I am so envious."
When they were studying, both Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei studied under Lu Zhi.Liu Bei didn't like reading, but liked dogs, horses, and fancy clothes. Gongsun Zan didn't stop, and often got into fights.
The two hit it off, and after several years of studying, they became better friends than brothers.
Gongsun Zan was seven years older than Liu Bei, so he often regarded himself as his elder brother.
In fact, Gongsun Zan did take good care of his 'brother'.
Back then when Liu Bei was the commander of Gao Tang, Gao Tang was attacked by thieves. Fearing that he would be implicated, Liu Bei took his two sworn brothers and ran thousands of miles to join Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan was also quite upright, without saying a word, he gave Liu Bei the post of Sima in another department, which is a rank of a thousand stones.Later, the feudal lords begged for Dong, and Gongsun Zan took Liu Bei to meet the world, and later, he presented Liu Bei as Prime Minister of Pingyuan, which can be said to be very considerate.
When he came here this time, Liu Bei didn't go around in circles, saying that he came to rescue Tao Qian with soldiers.
Knowing what happened, Gongsun Zan groaned for a while, and persuaded Liu Bei: "Brother, Cao Cao is gaining momentum now, you have no grudges against him, and old Tao Qian didn't give you any favors, why bother helping him?"
But Liu Bei shook his head, and said firmly: "Bei has promised someone, and he dare not break his promise. If brother refuses, brother should borrow troops elsewhere."
Gongsun Zan was annoyed and funny about this, but Liu Bei couldn't be persuaded, so he had no choice but to agree: "If you really want to go, as a brother, I will naturally support you. Even if Cao Cao asks the teacher to punish him in the future, I may not be afraid of him."
"Brother Yu still wants to borrow Zhao Yun to accompany him."
"Okay, I'll lend it to you too!"
Gongsun Zan generously gave Liu Bei [-] soldiers and horses. Originally, he wanted to keep Liu Bei at his residence for dinner, but Liu Bei said that there would be no delay, so he took the soldiers and horses, said goodbye and left.
After Liu Bei left, a Confucian scholar with a sinister look came over.
"My lord, just now I was watching his words and demeanor in secret. This person is by no means a thing in the pool, so he should be dealt with as soon as possible."
Murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Confucian scholar, and his tone was extremely cold: "My lord, you might as well send someone to intercept Liu Bei halfway, put the blame on Yuan Shao, and then use Guan and Zhang as vanguards. In this way, Jizhou can be won!"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
A plan is a good plan.
But Gongsun Zan didn't nod.
"From now on, don't think about Xuande again."
Gongsun Zan left the sentence in a flat tone, and strode away from the palace.
Only Li Ru was left standing in the center of the hall, with gloomy eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
On the other side, the 12 army commanded by Lu Bu has arrived in Luoyang after dozens of days of marching.
Due to the huge team and heavy luggage, the speed of the march was naturally greatly reduced.
Lu Bu was not in a hurry, he had already made preparations for a protracted war when he left the customs.
On the way, battle reports continued to come from the front line.
Cao Cao's momentum was very strong. He conquered many cities in Xuzhou in a row, and forced Tao Qian to retreat to Tan County.
When Lv Bu's counselors heard about this, they all turned pale with shock, saying that Cao Cao was vicious and violent, but he was really a jackal.
Only Lu Bu remained indifferent. If the revenge of killing his father could be tolerated, then Cao Cao would not be Cao Cao.
In Lu Bu's memory, the same is true of Cao Cao in the previous life.
